Definition of tisane in English:

noun

Elderflowers have been made into teas or tisanes in Europe and by N. American Indians, largely for medicinal use and especially as an antidote against colds.

On crisp spring days I often make a tisane or a rose tea, take it into the garden and wrap myself in a big warm blanket.

There are espressos, cappuccinos, mochaccinos, lattés, teas, tisanes and a wide assortment of more exotically flavoured coffee-based potions that would definitely put a little motion in your ocean, if you know what I mean.
